So you’re cleaning your gutters and accidentally disturbed a beehive – or a hornets’ nest… According to “The Big Book Of Uncommon Knowledge” – don’t try swatting them away – or running in a zigzag pattern, thinking you’ll escape. Instead, pull your shirt over your head and run in a straight line as fast as you can – into the wind, if possible… Because a stiff breeze will slow the bees down. They’ll usually give up before you reach shelter. But if you’ve beenstung 15 times or more, or feel sick, get to the ER.
